Friends and co-workers gathered April 11 at the hospital's Franciscan Café to celebrate with a special cake and refreshments. She was presented with keepsakes, the use of the Employee of the Month parking space and a complimentary dinner for two at a restaurant of her choice.

"Conni is very well-known throughout the organization because we all have to go through her after an interview and a hiring," hospital president and CEO Jason Barlow said. "I remember when I was hired at Saint Francis, she really did set that impression and tone of caring and compassion."
